Taking the Check from Richard Branson

What’s on your company’s pre-exit bucket list?

If getting a big check from Richard Branson might make that
top-ten list, you might want to learn a lesson or two from one of your peers
who did it.

Ginger Krieg Dosier, CEO of bioMASON, will be spending her lunch hour on
Wednesday helping other
Triangle area entrepreneurs learn her secrets of success. During “How I Won
$680,000 - and What You Can Learn about International Pitch Competitions,” Ginger
will share those lessons she learned, while assuring ample opportunity to ask
questions specific to other entrepreneurs’ situations.

Of course, she started with a really, really interesting
concept. But as the Postcode Lottery Green Challenge event chairman Richard
Branson stated, “… a good idea’s one thing – without the right structure in
place, it’s not getting out of the gate.” And it’s that structure that’s going to feel
the biggest impact by that $680,000 check.

She didn’t start by winning the Postcode Lottery – and has
no plans to stop with this challenge win, either. bioMASON has been covered everywhere
from O! to Builder Magazine and
whether she’s facing a journalist or a panel during competition, she has become
adept at finding the right ways to present her concepts. She’s learned to tell
the story so that her audience is compelled to react.

So entrepreneur, cancel your lunch plans Wednesday and come
down to the American Underground to learn a lesson or two from your peer. Maybe
some of it will run off on you.
